Edwards Camp On The AFSCME Flier

As mentioned last night and earlier today, NBC/NJ's Carrie Dann reported on a flier by the pro-Clinton labor union AFSCME that hits Obama on his
health-care plan. The catch, however, is that the flier appears disguised as an Edwards attack -- since he is the only candidate mentioned in it
criticizing Obama.

Now the Edwards campaign weighs in on the flier. Jennifer O'Malley Dillon, the Edwards campaign's Iowa state director, says in a statement: “There
have been a lot of misleading tactics and tricks in the last few weeks, but we've just never seen anything like this before...It's fine to have an honest
debate about policy, but Iowans deserve better than planted questions and campaign fliers designed to fool them.”

Meanwhile, the Obama campaign sent First Read past congressional testimony from AFSCME head Gerry McEntee criticizing Massachusetts' health-care
plan, which -- drum roll, please -- mandates health insurance.

1. Why doesn't AFSCME's head Gerry McEntee like universal health care?
Does anyone know?
